On the 14th of March 2026, LOUDER THAN WAR held an inaugural indoor festival (on a rare sunny day in Manchester!).
The day unfolded at Manchester Academy, seeing an eclectic selection of bands play the Academy 2, 3 and Club spaces, spanning the genres of punk, post punk, shoegaze and psych.
Der Fotoautomat was there armed with a camera to document some of the action, catching the sets of Erotic Secrets Of Pompeii, The DSM IV, Loose Articles, Evil Blizzard, Plantoid, The Sick Man Of Europe, Mouth Ulcers and Sea Power.
